Presley Henderson was right behind Big Time Rush when she heard her brother speak. The girl let out a short scream and shoved past the three band members and raced toward her brother.

She didn't realize how unstable he actually was until her arms wrapped around his body and she squeezed him close. Logan wobbled, nearly falling over but hugged her back anyway.

Mr. and Mrs. Henderson rushed in afterwards, not saying nother than expressing their love for their son and crying rivers of tears.

The three boybanders were still in shock when Logan gave them his goofy, lopsided grin. "Carlos, you were right. I am awake and standing."

They seemed to snap out of their trance and they all lunged at Logan, wrapping him in a hug. Carlos even let a couple of tears fall but they were quickly wiped away with his sleeve.

"We thought you were a goner, man." James laughed as he pat his friend on his back. Even though the words were light, there was a seriousness behind his eyes that was rare. "If you ever pull something like that again, I'll personally kill you."

"I'll try not to." Logan joked, "Crocodile attacks are a bitch to deal with, huh?"

"Speaking of which, can you tell us exactly what happened? We only really saw you and Jane Doe all chewed up but we never saw the actual crocodile..." Kendall asked nervously. Everyone winced when he said 'chewed up' because none of them could get the image of Logan's wounds out of their minds.

"Her name's Addie..." Logan started. He told them everything while the nurse put in new stitches; about Addie getting pulled in, the crocodile and how the two had saved each other during the attack. Logan also told them about his protectiveness over the girl he had barely known for more than a day. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson had to leave the room, not being able to hear about how their only son got mauled by a crocodile.

Kendall seemed to tense up at that, "Why do you feel protective over the girl who almost got you killed?"

"She also saved my life, Kendall." Logan retorted, "I just feel like I need to keep her safe, you know."

"I get it. Like you saw her in such a vulnerable state that you just need to protect her." Carlos explained to Kendall. Logan nodded. That was basically it in a nutshell. "I feel that with Alexa."

Logan's smile faltered, "Well, I don't want to marry her."

"You will." James smirked, "Ten bucks says you will."

"I'll take that bet." Kendall held out his hand and the two boys shook on it. Logan rolled his eyes, not really enjoying the fact that two of his best friend's were betting on who he was going to marry. He wasn't so desperate that he would pop the question to the first girl he feels any kind of emotion for.

"So, when do you think she'll wake up?" Logan asked, interrupting the two's friendly argument.

"Hopefully not anytime soon." Kendall muttered, just quiet enough that Logan couldn't hear what he said.

"The doctor said maybe in two weeks. The longer she stays in the coma, the likelihood of her waking up falls, so they're doing everything they can to get her up. But they also don't want to wake her up too soon." Carlos tried explaining and Logan shot him a look that basically told him he had no idea what the hell he was talking about.

"This is how the doc explained it: Jane Doe- I mean Addie - went in the coma because her body is shutting down to protect and heal her injury's. In theory, she should wake up again when her wounds are better but sometimes it just doesn't work like that. It could take her longer to wake up at all and all they can do is guess when she's going to wake up. But the longer she stays like that, the higher her chances get of just shutting down completely and staying in the coma."

Carlos wasn't really the type of person to go around reading medical books and Logan was pretty sure he had misunderstood a few things of what the doctor had told him, but he got the basic gist of it: Addie ha to wake up.

Mr. and Mrs. Henderson appeared at the door again, with Presley right behind them. They had taken her with them to the cafeteria because they 'didn't want her young ears exposed to such horrific details.' Logan thought she would have been able to handle it.

"So, are we still in Australia then?" Logan asked just as the nurses finished up sealing up his stitches.

"We're in Sydney now, instead of Darwin but yeah. Still Australia. We cancelled the rest of the tour dates until you woke up." Kendall sighed, looking upset. He was clearly still worried about Logan but he also didn't want to cancel the rest of the tour completely.

"I'll e up and hobbling around in no time." Logan smirked.

"Oh no, you will not!" Mrs. Henderson snapped. "There is no way you'll be 'hobbling' anywhere in your condition. Doctor's orders, you're staying a wheelchair, young man!"

"But Moooom!" Logan whined. A wheelchair would seriously mess with his whole backflip reputation going on.

"No buts, you're getting a wheelchair."

"I'll bejewel it for you." Presley smiled and Logan rolled his eyes sarcastically.

"Oh thanks, that will make it so much cooler. The pink gems will really show my masculinity." Logan muttered.

"Dude, you fought a crocodile, I'm pretty sure your manliness is safe." Carlos put in and Logan chuckled. It was good to be back. Especially with some kick ass scars and stories to go along with it. "Everyone already knows about it, you may as well go into pro wrestling."

"What do you mean 'everyone knows?'"

Carlos and James explained how the media had made Big Time Rush's tragic accident explode. Everyone knew about Logan fighting off the crocodile and now that he woke up, the media frenzy was bound to happen all over again. Some idiot even got pictures and videos of Logan and Addie (Mostly Logan) laying on the shore, covered in blood while the medics rushed around them.

"The first week, there were Rushers and paparazzi crowding outside the hospital. When you're feeling up to it, remember to thank them. They stayed out there for hours waiting for you to wake up." Mr. Henderson explained and Logan felt a swell of pride and love for his fans. They were truly amazing people.

Just then, a quiet moan could be heard from the petite brunette in the bed next to Logan's. Her blue eyes flickered open and she let out another squeak of pain.

Addie had woken up.
